Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical Spondylosis

Cervical spondylosis is a general term for age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in the neck. As the disks dehydrate and shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including bony projections along the edges of bones.
Cervical Spondylosis treatment involves medications such as Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Corticosteroids, Muscle relaxants, Anti-seizure medications, Antidepressants, and Surgery in severe cases.
The right doctor to consult for Cervical Spondylosis is an Orthopedic and Spine Surgeon.
Cervical Spondylosis can be detected by an X-ray, which can show abnormalities, such as bone spurs, that indicate cervical spondylosis, Neck X-ray can also rule out rare and more serious causes for neck pain and stiffness, such as tumors, infections or fractures, or a CT scan.
